The Woman Did the tyooipp.

The Co,trant of Monday contained brief
allusion to the postponement OF wedding
ceremony at New Haven, the bridegroom
falling to appear at the church. Many
contradictory stories concerning the matter
appear in the New Haven papers. Miss
Hill has been once married. and is % years
old, four years the senior of the man she
wishes to marry, Merritt l.. Allen. His
friends claim that the courtship has been
being made by the lady. Mr.. Allen says
that he never sought Miss Hills society,
but had met her at the City Mission rooms
on Meadow street, and had accompanied
her home several times at her request. The
third time she met him she made pro-
posal of marriage, which he laughed off,
but as she repeated the proposition every
time she saw him he told her fatty that he
never would marry her. She insisted that
he should, and went on making arrange
ments which he neither assented to nor
assisted in. On Saturday evening he re-
ceived note from her informing him that
the wedding was to take place that even
ing, that the clergyman had been engaged,
etc. To this he paid no attention. On
Monday afternoon he met her at the Union
office, but made no matrimonial arrange
ments with her.
On Tuesday Miss Hill procured mar
rage license, saying that Mr. Allen would
meet her at O'Clock with a clergyman.
But for the second time no groom APP
peared Miss Hill stated that Allen gave
her the money to procure the license, and
said he would make all necessary arrange
ments. But Allen tells altogether differ
ent story. So far from giving her the
money for the license, he says he told her
he had no intention of marrying her on
,,,It ~,
Hill has told great many different stories
about the matter. She told the clergyman
upon whom she first called that Allen had
gwen her $40 to buy trousseau, and
would give her 81 600 gold watch as a
wedding ent.-Hdrtord Cordnt.

A CLOAK OF GOLD FEATHERs-At the cor
onation of King Kalakaua in 1888, writes
correspondent from Honolulu, be wore the
royal mantle of Kamehameha l., one of
the most superb emblems of royalty ever
worn by King or Kaiser. As may be sup
posed, it is carefully kept at the palace. 1t
is a semI-circular cloak about four feet in
length, covering an area of twenty-five
square feet when spread out, and it is made
of the small golden-hued feathers of the
90. These feathers, each about the size of
ones little finger nail, are fastened to a fine
network of fiber, made from the bark of
the olona, OVERLAPPING each other. There
are st least five thousand of these feathers
used in the cloak there are but two taken
from each bird, which have to be shared
in the dense woods, the feathers plucked
and the birds released 1t was crime to
kill them. The birds are by no means
abundant necessarily the value of the
cloak is very great, and the keeping of it an
endless task. The mantle is worn onl; by
the reigning sovereign. There are shorter
capes and cloaks worn by Allies or chiefs,
their length being regulated by the rank of
the wearer.

General Rosser writes very frankly in
regard to General Sheridan's proposed
junketing ride through the Shenandoah
valley, and he has not written a word
amiss. The people Of the valley have given
cordial welcome in late years to Federal
veterans who have revisited the scenes of
their former battles, and have united with
them in doing honor to comrades buried
at Winchester and elsewhere. In these
demonstrations the Confederate veterans
have borne a conspicuous part
There is no lingering trace of enmitv in
their hearts toward men who fought honor
ably and bravely on the opposite side of
the great war. But the line should be
drawn behind the soldiers. There is no
occasion for honoring any hummer or in
cendiary who followed the Federal armies
or who led them. Brutal and savage in his
conduct in the war, Sheridan has shown
himself to be no less brutal and savage
since it ended, and the people of the valley
of Virginia should not fail to emphasize in
every proper way the utter detestation in
which his character and shameful deeds
are held and will ever be held, by he
whole people of the South.
Geneval Rosser's suggestion is pointed
and singularly pertinent. 1t was once the
boast of the Federal Bashi- bazouk that
where his evil presence had blasted the
face of nature among the fair Virginia hills
crow could not follow without CARRYING
its rations with it. II is meet and proper

SUNDAY EASY.CHAIR.

In the hush of the valley of silence
dream ali the songs that sing;
And the music floats down the dim valley,
Till each finds word for wing,
That TO hearts, like the dove of the deluge,
A message of peace they may bring
But far on the deep there are pillows
That never shall break on the beach
And have heard songs in the silence
That never shall float into speech;
And have had dreams in the valley
Too lofty fox language to reach.
And l have seen thoughts in the valley
All me how my spirit was stirred
And they wear holy wells on their faces
Their footsteps can scarcely be heard:
They pass through the valley like virgins,
Too pure for the touch of a word.
Do you ask me the place of the valley?
Ye hearts that are narrowed by care?
II lieth afar between mountains,
And God and his angels are there;
One is the dark mountain of sorrow,
And one the bright mountain of prayer.

had been attained and the sandstone still

From this follows one result as corol-
larry, and that is that where you use fertil-
izers, you do not need the system of rota-
ton of crops. 1t strikes at the foundation
of that. There are certain chemical changes
in the soil by which certain kinds of plant
food are set free. The great reason for ro-
tation is that the plants we put on one
year take out certain elements and leave
others. If We put on another crop the sec
ond year. it will find some of these Others
So we go on for three or four years in rota-
ton. But with commercial fertilizers we
put on what the crop needs and it takes it
up at once. There is nothing left for an
other crop. We are not obliged to put IN any
thing for second year. We put IN Just
what the crop wants, and not trouble our
selves about any future crops.
